MS 361 help needed please

[Takjaa]

Hey guys,

Using my 361 yesterday when it made a pissshttt sound and stopped running, when trying to restart the saw each time it almost started then stopped with the pissshttt sound (can of fizzy pop opening) ... now is sat looking pretty but bored and broken:thumbdown:

 

Piston rings maybe? any thoughts/remedies?

 

cheers

Sounds like some sort of gasket has gone??

Is the spark plug in properly?

decomp valve blowing out?

[Takjaa]

oh my goodness .....:blushing: bit embarrassed now ...

HT lead had just come off, pushed it back on - started up wonderfully ... in my garden .... may have just woken all the local kiddys up tho, saws always seem louder in a housing estate at 8pm??

 

cheers guys glad I asked as I was thinking about going bloke on it and taking it to pieces

Ah well sometimes its hard to see the wood for the trees!

glad you got it sorted anyway.
